August 1st, 2022. The Inflation Reduction Act Will Actually Increase Inflation. Ukrainian Wheat Might Hit Finally Foreign Shores Again.

It’s August 1st. You’re listening to the President’s Daily Brief. Your morning intel starts now.

First, Joe Biden’s $370B climate bill just got a thumbs down from fact checkers, saying his numbers don’t add up. I’ll share those findings, plus why this is a very bad sign for governing our country.

As always, I’m keeping an eye out for developing stories. Put these two on your radar.

First, today is a big day for the Wheat Wars. Ukraine’s first ship of agricultural goods set sail into open waters. I’ll explain what to look for, and why it matters.

Second, America’s top diplomat is off to Africa next week, to Rwanda and the Congo. Savvy listeners might remember why those nations are so important. It has to do with batteries. We’ll discuss.

And finally, one last thing before I let you go. A question from Rick from New Mexico. He asked if my working for the CIA changed my daily habits — like how I drive — or how it changed my view of the world.

Those are great questions. And I’ve got answers.

All up next on the President's Daily Brief.
